Flip and flatten slightly with a spatula, cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Flip back to the first side and cook until browned, about 1 more minute. Repeat with remaining batter.

Recipe Note

This is my adaptation of a common Latvian dish. It was a common breakfast or lunch dish in Latvia. It was topped with a little butter and honey. My kids like to put maple syrup on instead. I almost always double the recipe because it is easy to reheat for a quick snack.
